Clisson vintage: a retro, festive and free event

Once every two years, Clisson Vintage transforms the cobbled streets and historic squares of Clisson into a huge open-air museum. This free event combines classic Volkswagen cars, retro music, a vintage market and finger food in a friendly, cross-generational atmosphere.

Whether you’re a lover of vintage cars, a second-hand enthusiast, a rock fan or just a Sunday stroller, Clisson Vintage is the place to be. Clisson Vintage welcomes you for a timeless weekend in a unique setting.

Clisson Vintage is free for all visitors and VW Aircooled exhibitors. The heart of the town becomes pedestrianised, open to the curious, enthusiasts, families and collectors. It’s a rare moment when car culture, heritage and conviviality come together at every turn.
